Welcome to the Ultimate Control Experience!

Your new AT8550

™

AllTouch

Universal Remote Control (remote) is a true universal

remote, functioning as five remotes in one. As one example, you can use this remote to

operate your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable box, and receiver.

Important Information About Your Remote

Your remote is initially programmed to only operate your cable box. The Volume and

Mute keys will not work until a TV code is programmed into the remote. You must

program the remote to operate your TV, VCR, etc. See Program the Remote to

Control My Devices to learn how to enter device codes and program your remote.

How Does A Universal Remote Control Work?

You tell the remote which type of device you want to operate using the five keys arched

across the top of the remote. These keys, known as mode keys, are labeled CBL, TV,

VCR, DVD, and AUX. Each mode key is associated with a specific device. As an

example, if you want the remote to operate your TV, you simply press the TV key. Other

keys you press on the remote thereafter should operate your TV. Want to switch the

remote to operate a different device? Just press the mode key for the next device you

want to operate. In this guide, you will learn which types of devices you can control and

how to program the remote to control your specific devices.

Note: Some remote keys may not operate in all modes. You can even program your

remote to assign specific functions, such as channel control, to operate one device only.

You will learn more about these advanced functions later in this guide.

Where Do I Start?

Before you begin using your remote, complete the following initial setup tasks.

Install the Batteries

The remote requires two AA batteries (alkaline recommended). A diagram in the battery

compartment of the remote indicates proper placement of the batteries. When batteries

are properly installed, the light on the remote blinks each time a key is pressed.

Visit the Quick Reference

Timing is often important when you program advanced features. Therefore, knowing

where certain keys are on the remote gives you an edge in pressing the right key at the

right time.

Important Information About Power Control

Scientific-Atlanta strongly recommends that you turn off your cable box every time you

turn off your TV. To make this easier, you can program your remote to turn both devices

on or off at the same time. After you program the remote to control your four favorite

entertainment devices, see Change Power Control to learn more about programming

your remote to control power for the TV and cable box at the same time.

Find a Place to Store Your Remote

Keeping up with one remote is much easier than keeping up with five remotes. However,

it is still a good idea to find a storage location for your remote. The AT8550 is not a toy.

It should be kept out of the reach of children under the age of 6 years.

Code Tables

If the remote does not recognize your device, you can find codes for your device by

brand. With combination devices (such as a TV with a built-in DVD player), you have

separate codes for each device component. Therefore, for ease of use, the combination

device codes are listed first. All other code tables are organized by devices assigned to

each mode (CBL, TV, VCR, DVD, AUX).

Combination Device Codes

If you have a combination device, you may need to reassign the AUX key to operate one

of the devices. See Reassign Mode Keys for more information. The following tables

provide some examples of combination devices. If your combination device is not listed,

simply look for the codes for each separate device.

What Devices Can I Control?

The mode keys arched across the top of the remote tell the remote which device you

want to operate.

Each mode key is associated with different groups

of devices. You can use each mode key to control

one of its associated devices:

Mode Key Associated Devices

CBL.......... cable boxes, HDTV tuners, and satellite

devices

TV............. TVs and HDTVs

VCR ......... VCRs, digital video recorders (DVRs), DVD players, and CD players

DVD.......... DVD players, CD players, VCRs, and DVRs

AUX.......... receivers, tuners, and Home Theatre in a Box (HTIB)

Regarding Non-Responsive Modes

The AT8550 is pre-programmed with the TV, VCR, and AUX keys set to an inactive

(non-responsive) mode. After you program these keys on the remote control, you can

return them to the non-responsive mode by using the specific non-responsive mode

code found in the Code Tables, later in this guide.

What Devices Do I Want to Control?

To help you keep track of the devices you want to control, list the type of devices

(including brand) in the following table. Locate your device type in the list above and

write the associated mode key. If you have two devices that use the same key, you must

reassign the AUX, the VCR, or the DVD keys. Go to Reassign Mode Keys. Otherwise,

go to Program the Remote to Control My Devices.

Reassign Mode Keys

With the AT8550, you can reassign a mode key to operate a different device. For example,

you can reassign the AUX key to operate a receiver, a tuner, or a Home Theatre in a Box

system.

You can reassign the AUX key, the VCR key, or the DVD key. However, the TV key and

the CBL key cannot be reassigned. If you reassign a key, be sure you update the table

found in the previous section.

What If None of the Codes Work?

If none of the codes listed for your brand of device operate the device correctly, you can

search through the code library for a valid code.

Improving Your Reaction Time

When you search the code library, you need to be ready to press SELECT as soon as

the remote turns off your device. Therefore, make sure you are familiar with the location

of the SELECT key before you begin this procedure.

Sizing Up the Libraries

The mode keys blink twice when the remote reaches the last code in a library. You

do not need to count codes. However, knowing the size of each library will help you

determine how long it will take to cycle through all of the codes in the library. Each

library contains the following number of codes:

• CBL mode: 23 • TV mode: 225 • DVD mode: 206

• VCR mode: 210 • AUX mode: 38

Searching the Code Library

(Program Code 9 9 1)

1. Turn on the device.

2. Press and hold SELECT and the appropriate mode key (CBL, TV, VCR, DVD, or

AUX) until the mode keys blink twice. For example, to search for a TV code, press

and hold SELECT and TV at the same time.

Note: If you reassigned mode keys, you may, for example, press SELECT and

VCR to search for a TV code to assign to the VCR mode key.

3. Press 9 9 1. The mode key you selected in step 2 blinks twice.

4. Point the remote toward the device, and press PLAY . The remote automati-

cally tests each code in its library, beginning with the most common codes. The

mode key blinks once each time the remote transmits a new code. The mode key

blinks twice when it reaches the last code.

5. As soon as the device powers off, press SELECT.

6. Verify the new code is correct by pressing POWER.

7. Did the device power on again?

• If yes, press SELECT to assign the code.

• If no, complete the following steps:

a) Turn the device on.

b) Press or to step forward or back to the correct code.

c) When the device turns off, press SELECT to assign the code.

8. Go to Which Code Worked to identify the code that controls your device. After you

identify the code, record the code in the space provided on the cover of this guide.

Change Channel Control

Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways:

• The remote controls channels for a single device, such as the cable box, whether the

remote is in CBL, VCR, DVD, or TV mode. The AUX mode always retains separate

channel control.

• The remote controls channels for different devices, depending on the mode key you

press.

Try your remote to see how the channel control currently works. The channel keys

include

, , Digits 0-9, LAST, and FAV. If you want to change the channel control,

complete the procedure that fits your needs.

Tip: Consider programming the remote to control channels for just the cable box to

ensure you do not accidentally tune off the proper channel for the TV (usually channel

3 or 4).

Controlling Channels For One Device

(Program Code 9 9 7)

1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 7. The CBL key blinks twice.

3. Press the mode key associated with the device you want the channel keys to control.

mode keys blink three times.

Notes:

• The channel keys now always control the device associated with the mode you

selected in this step, whether in TV, CBL, DVD, or VCR mode.

• In AUX mode, the remote always controls channels for the device assigned to the

AUX key.

Controlling Channels For Different Devices

(Program Code 9 9 7)

1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 7. The CBL key blinks twice.

3. Press SELECT. All mode keys blink three times.

Result: After you press SELECT, the channel keys now control the device associated

with the mode key you select. For example, in TV mode, the channel keys control the

TV, but in CBL mode, the channel keys control the cable box.

Which Code Worked?

Find out which code programmed the mode key to control your device.

Finding the Code That Worked

(Program Code 9 9 0)

1. Press and hold SELECT and the appropriate mode key (CBL, TV, VCR, DVD, or

AUX) until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 0. The mode key you selected in step 1 blinks twice.

3. Press 1 and then count the number of times the mode key blinks. The number of

blinks indicates the first digit in the code. For example, 4 blinks indicates the first

digit in the code is 4. If the mode key does not blink, the digit is 0.

4. Press 2 and then count the number of times the mode key blinks. This number

indicates the second number in the code.

5. Press 3 and then count the number of times the mode key blinks. This number

indicates the third number in the code.

6. Press 4 and then count the number of times the mode key blinks. This number

indicates the fourth number in the code.

Note: After all four numbers in the code are identified, all mode keys blink three

times.

7. Record the code in the space provided on the cover of this guide. You may need it

again if the device code is accidentally erased.

Change Volume Control

Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways:

• The remote controls volume for one device, such as your TV, whether the remote is

in TV, VCR, DVD, or CBL mode. The AUX mode always retains separate volume

control.

• The remote controls volume for different devices, depending on the mode key you

press. For example, in CBL mode, the volume keys control the cable box. However,

in TV mode, the volume keys control the TV.

Try your remote to see how the volume control currently works. The volume keys

include

, , and MUTE. If you want to change the volume control, complete the

procedure that fits your needs.

Controlling Volume for One Device

(Program Code 9 9 3)

Note: If you want to assign volume control to a Scientific-Atlanta cable box, complete

the following prerequisite steps. Press SETTINGS to access the General Settings

on-screen menu. Then, verify that the Audio: Volume Control setting is set to Variable.

1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 3. The CBL key blinks twice.

3. Press the mode key for the device the volume keys should control. For example, if

you want to control volume through your TV, press TV. All mode keys blink

three times.

Notes:

• The volume keys control only one device whether you are in CBL, TV, DVD,

or VCR mode.

• In AUX mode, the remote always controls volume for the device assigned to

the AUX key.

Controlling Volume for Different Devices

(Program Code 9 9 3)

1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 3. The CBL key blinks twice.

3. Press SELECT. All mode keys blink three times.

Result: After you press SELECT, the volume keys control the device assigned to that

mode. For example, in TV mode, the volume keys control volume for the TV only.

Change Power Control

Your remote is originally programmed in one of the following ways:

• The remote controls power for only one device at a time. For example, in CBL mode

the POWER key controls the cable box only. However, in TV mode, the POWER key

controls the TV only.

• The remote controls power for either one device or for multiple devices at once,

based on the selected mode. For example, in CBL mode, the POWER key controls

both the cable box and the TV at the same time.

Before you change how the power control functions, try your remote to see how the

power control currently works. When trying out your remote, keep in mind that the

remote provides a temporary override for power control. For example, if you press the

TV key and then the POWER key within 3 seconds, the remote turns on the TV only,

regardless of the programmed power settings. To see how the remote was originally

programmed, wait at least 5 seconds before pressing the POWER key after you press

any mode key.

Does your remote already control power for your cable box and TV at the same time?

If not, Scientific-Atlanta strongly recommends that you program the remote to turn off

the cable box each time you turn off your TV. Turning off the cable box is especially

important for high-end cable boxes that contain hard drives for recording and storing

TV programs and movies. Not only will you reduce wear and tear from the hard disk

spinning constantly, but you’ll also conserve electricity. As long as the cable box

remains plugged in, the cable box will receive programming updates, and, if applicable,

record programs and movies.

Controlling Power for Multiple Devices at Once

(Program Code 9 9 8)

1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.

Want An Example?

If you want to control power for the TV and the cable box at the same time, you would

do the following:

1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 8. The CBL key blinks twice.

3. Press TV. The CBL key blinks twice.

4. Press CBL. The CBL key blinks twice.

5. Press SELECT. All mode keys blink three times.

In this example, the remote will function in the following ways:

• When you are in TV mode or CBL mode, the POWER key controls both the cable

box and the TV.

• When you are in VCR mode, the POWER key controls the VCR device only.

• When you are in AUX mode, the POWER key controls the auxiliary device only.

Controlling Power for One Device at a Time

(Program Code 9 9 8)

1. Press and hold SELECT and CBL until all mode keys blink twice.

2. Press 9 9 8. The CBL key blinks twice.

3. Press SELECT to save your power settings. All mode keys blink three times.

After you select a mode, the POWER key controls the device assigned to that mode.

For example, in TV mode, the remote controls power for the TV only.

Important Power Tips

• Scientific-Atlanta strongly recommends that you program the remote to turn off the

cable box each time you turn off your TV.

• When you turn off the cable box using the remote control, you are actually putting

the box in a power saving mode. As long as the cable box remains plugged in, it will

continue to receive programming updates and, if applicable, record programs and

movies.

• If your POWER key controls multiple devices at once, the remote returns to the CBL

mode after the devices are powered on or off.

• If your POWER key controls multiple devices at once, you can override this setting

by pressing the desired mode key and then pressing POWER within 3 seconds. For

example, if you press the VCR key and then the POWER key within 3 seconds, the

remote turns just the VCR on or off, regardless of the programmed power settings.
